I wouldn't have known the numbers were supposed to be bigger than giants if characters didn't keep mentioning it. But it's kind of amazing Oda kept Wano in as good of scale as he did in the first place.

I can't wait to see the first giant with a devil fruit power

Besides what Endorph said, the anime has had at least 2 giants with Devil Fruits, I think.

Heck, both even have the same Fruit - the Mini Mini Fruit, which lets them shrink in size.

One's in a game, the other's in one of those pre-movie arcs that set up the upcoming movie (in this case, it was for One Piece: Film Z). Obviously both aren't canon but if it was it would imply the dude from the game died.

Also yes, it has the application you're thinking of.

quote:

Lily has stated that she can use the fruit to slip inside her enemies' bodies and then grow, making them burst into pieces. She tried to use this technique against Shuzo when she asked Usopp to shoot her into his mouth, but instead went into Luffy's. However, she was able to turn this setback into an advantage by returning to her normal size while inside Luffy, whose Gomu Gomu no Mi powers allowed his body to expand to Lily's giant form. This gave him an increase in strength to match his size, making him able to defeat Shuzo with one attack.

San Juan Wolf is supposed to have a Devil Fruit that's responsible for him being the biggest giant in the world.

Endorph posted:

yamato also isnt nearly as big as kaido which you think he would be if kaido was 100% giant. the half-giant on foxy's crew was a lot bigger than yamato is.

To be fair, the other half is Fishman, and pure Fishmen can be insanely huge (see: Neptune and his family or Wadatsumi, who dwarves even them).

Oda on Giant sizes:

quote:

D: Lately there's been a lot of tall guys, like Katakuri and Doflamingo, coming out one after the other, but about how many meters tall is the shortest Giant? -P.N. BENI

O: Firstly, the Giant-like Big Mom's height, which is 8m 80 cm. She's bigger than Whitebeard. On the other hand, the shortest real Giant is 12m, making them about two heads taller than Big Mom. The full length of a large bus or truck is about 12m or so. Please think of this feeling as if you'd found a giant laying down.

drat Oda going off on Caesar Clown.

quote:

D: Nami-san called Caesar “Scum”, “Garbage”, and told him that “It would be better if you died”. Did she get influenced by Robin-chan’s potty-mouth (toxic-tongue)? -P.N. Dori

O: Please remember what happened on Punk Hazard. Caesar fed the children stimulants, called his subordinates guinea pigs, and dedicates his whole life to creating a weapon of genocide. He truly is a man where it would be better off if he was dead. Even though Nami is only kind to those in need (women and children), I truly think she hates Caesar from the bottom of her heart.

Kid: I bet Crocodile doesn't like crocodile meat because he keeps them as pets.
Oda: He fuckin' loves crocodile meat.

quote:

D: Please tell us what are Crocodile and Daz Bonez’ favorite foods and most hated foods. I think a boss like Crocodile who likes Bananawani (Banana Crocodiles) wouldn’t eat bananas or crocodile meat. My older sister thinks he dislikes mandarin oranges (mikan). We got into a fight about whether it’s hard for him to remove his fake hand. P.N. Banana Me and Mandarin Sister

Crocodile:
Likes: Crocodile meat and tomatoes
Dislikes: Ketchup

Daz Bones (Mr. 1):
Likes: Raw Ham
Dislikes: Grilled pork

This sounds about right!! The fact that he keeps crocodiles as pets doesn’t really affect what is difficult for him to eat. When you look at what these two like to eat they sure seem like an annoying pair to please.

Kaido is also a depressed alcohol who attempted to kill himself every single way except just landing in salt water, but I guess his fruit is the only aquatic zoan type we've seen so maybe he just inherited fishman-like breathing underwater and just lays at the bottom of the sea like Jack did unable to move and just seething

He's not actually trying to kill himself, he was testing his limits. He's knows drowning will kill him, so he's not going to do that.

it could just end up being one of those questions that Oda answers 10 years from now saying "Oh, Kaido could survive indefinitely underwater but he still can't move on his own as with all devil fruits"

His devil fruit is the only aquatic zoan we've seen so far and the translation of his fruit is basically "Fish fruit: model dragon"

Puzzle and Dragons is also having a collab with One Piece and the characters are broken as poo poo. Especially Gear 5 Luffy and Kaidou. Strangely there's no Shanks, despite him being a big part of Film Red. Like we have Uta and (some of) the Warlords and even Katakuri and Rayleigh and Uta but not Shanks.

Some nice thematic stuff too.

Like Law being able to swap positions of units (only 2 other people can do it - Chrollo from the HxH collab and Todo from the JJK collab, both characters with the ability to change people's positions).

Or Smoker creating a bunch of clouds to cover up your board when you use his skill (which is detrimental in most cases, to be honest, because clouds are board hazards).

Jinbe, Franky, Robin, and Brook are the olds of the crew.

Before Jinbe joined, Brooke and Franky and Robin were the olds and the ones standing guard at Zou in case the samurai came cause they were worried it would cause a ruckus (it did, but not for the reasons they feared).

Just like Whitebeard, who he angrily cursed because Whitebeard managed to achieved exactly that, he only died after destroying Marineford, beating up an Admiral as well as Blackbeard. All while being terminally sick and barely able to move.
